A member asked:

Is it true that taking zinc supplements can make an adult over age 33 grow taller? what about calcium magnesium--can that also increase height at 33?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Taller: It is extremely unlikely that you will grow taller at age 33. If you saw a pediatrician as a youngster you should contact them and ask for a copy of your growth chart. What makes you ask the above question?

I'm currently taking 300 mg of phenytoin daily for epilepsy. I'm also taking a calcium and vitamin d3 supplement. The D3 is a fairly high dosage due to the phenytoin. Should I take magnesium? If so how much and with the D3 or not?
